I have this same problem too, getting very high 700s in math but mid 600s in reading and writing (RW). I'm sure you've heard to do Khan Academy a ton, and this is true. I want you to absolutely grind out on every grammar question they have, until you start getting the same questions (repeating) since they ran out of more questions to ask you. If you simply don't understand a concept, watch Khan videos, but that's only for a surface level understanding. Lowkey the Khan videos are kinda dookie if you wanna have a deep understanding, so I would highly highly recommend going on YouTube and not really watching any specific channels, but rather look up the topic that you are struggling on and watch at least 3 videos on it, taking note of the common themes/tips in the videos. If you don't wanna "waste" Khan questions, go on CrackSAT and do questions there, or simply go to the student question bank on College Board and do that. As you might have noticed already, I am advocating for EXTREME practice. If you lock in for just like 3 hours on a single topic you are not thorough with, and follow the advice in this response, you will most likely be more proficient in that topic than you were before. Sorry if this was a long response haha, just wanted to be clear. Don't stress too much tho, you got this and I believe in you bro.
